It's finished (well perhaps some small tweaks but I'm ready to show it to the world at least)

The ever mysterious water well with all hand painted textures has arrived at the other end of the creation tunnel, mostly unscathed by it's ordeal.

It took many hours or working and reworking but it's finally something I'm actually proud of ... and anyone who knows me will tell you I'm NEVER proud of my work, but I feel I worked hard and it shows for the first time. It's by no means perfect but it's still my creation ^_^

If your anything like me, at least in a 3D artist sense, you'll know the feeling of always being on the look out for something that would just ooze awesomeness if you built (or in this case wish you could build). And here is my highlight of the week!!

This beautiful piece of sculpture I came across quite by accident during the usual googling for good metal reference images. It is the work of a man called Cory Fuhr and I must say I'm completely in awe! I mean, learning anatomy and rendering it with accuracy is hard enough. But then to craft the human form out of cogs, rods and sheet metal definitely deserves some props.

This is my personal favourite .... but I think it's because I'm fascinated by the human hand =P
